Jason McAteer wonder goal v Holland

[akenny01]

roy keane 'we can always depend on him'..... ha

[RadioNul]

That move starts with Ian Harte making a fool out of a Dutch player. Then Roy Keane makes mince meat out of Van Bommel. Van Bommel fouls him but ref says play on. Then Stam viciously fouls him but ref says play on. Then Finnan makes Cocu dance and crosses the ball in. Why didn't Stam head it out? BECAUSE THE DUFFER SOLD HIM WITH A DUMMY HEADER. Up pops Jason McAteer on the wrong side of the pitch, putting all of the Dutch out of position. Boom, Ten Man Ireland score with "Total Football".

[burns4784]

McAteer you're a hero in my eyes and all will be.

[Primordialfan1]

Bloody Hell Stop fighting you idiots (Dutch AND Irish).

I like Dutch people and I have a great love for Holland.

So yeah. if any gobshites from any nationalities want to fight you can fuck right off.

[1991madden]

its a wonder goal because it pretty much meant we were going to the world cup.

[Kluivert23]

I can still almost cry about this, how could we lose from the irish?

[jordan8445]

@Kluivert23 Whats surprising? Netherlands aint shit. Example, when you're occupied by another country you sit there waiting for help. Ireland>Netherlands.

[andytownman1916]

@Kluivert23 cause they were better than you

[Kluivert23]

@andytownman1916 that's right

[ndrwdngh]

[dimgwalltameiben]

and you whoever u r

[alanblufc]

its called a wonder goal coz it put ireland through to the 2002 world cup!

[craiclord]

we needed the draw against Iran in the playoffs then :)

[legendski]

it was a good finish but I was expecting a lot more of a goal called 'wonder goal'.

[orient1961]

If McAteer had missed it would have gone down as the biggest howler in Irish football history.

Houghton's miss in Wembley 1991 is hard to beat although.

[JohnnyDarkoKelly]

i was there, brilliant it was

[MaxRenn]

Composure, control and the eye on the ball...

The boy Messy wouldn't do better.

Classic.

[aurules16]

yes he could :\

[ryko26]

"wonder" goal???

[o00Adam00o]

yes....wonder goal.

[melvinceltic]

thats what i was thinking. maybe for Ireland, and McAteer, but certainly not for anyone below the English 2nd Division!

[phantomdd87]

its wonder goal in the context it was scored. ireland were given no chance going into the group and were written off in favour of holland and portugal and this goal effectively knocked the dutch out and won us second place in the group. I was sitting behind the goal it was scored in and nearly got thrown onto the pitch!! it was the greatest feeling i've ever had at a football match...

[gr3112]

wonder goal my balls

[o00Adam00o]

no way! great goal!  jimmy mcgee says it all!

[gr3112]

it doesnt deserve to be called a wonder goal though

[johnpaul25x]

@gr3112 its a wonder goal because it sent Ireland to the World cup and eliminated a Dutch team full of super stars who were playing against TEN man Ireland!!!
